A member asked:
If a 20 year old has their entire large intestine removed. will they still have a normal life expectancy or is it likely they will die prematurely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: This is well established for ulcerative colitis and familial polyposis patients. However, Matthew, if as you have listed you heave only irritable bowel syndrome, no one will operate you, and hopefully the most effective medicines will be available to you. Best wishes.
